First Aid Trivia at The Wilderness

7x of LKN's finest came out to the Wilderness this AM to get fit and learn facts about First Aid.  Hopefully, known of what they learned this morning will be needed but best to be prepared.

The Thang

Mosey over to the cul-de-sac next to the soccer field, and YHC found he didn't have his winkie.  

Mosey over to YHC's vehicle to retrieve his phone for an electronic backup copy of said winkie. 

Mosey down to Queen's corner, passing Kotters Storm Chaser on the way.

Recover, recover. 

 

Damp Moleskin 

 

YHC found his winkie on the stairs when he got back home.  Lot of good printing that out did!

 

Toxic – YHC gave Toxic a ride on the way up to the AO.  Only took YHC about 5 mins to find the door unlock button in the Titan, the only switch in the entire cockpit that does not have a backlight.  

 

Ultraman got the Aspirin for heart attack right, but don't give Ultraman Aspirin because it is lethal to him.  Good to know!

 

Frontier – Solide work all day.  YHC ran into him at Costco on Sunday and barely recognized him with his mask on.  Can't get out of there without spending a fortune. 

 

Soprano got most of the questions right this morning, only problem was, he was outvoted with wrong answers by the other Pax thus awarding everyone with lots of burpees.  They must care about his fitness. 

 

Amen rolled in right on time, while Jorel showed up about a minute late.  What time does the 0530 workout start? 

 

Good times had by all, hopefully we learned something and can help save a life one day, or even better, never need to use it and everyone stays safe and healthy.  

 

See you in the gloom, TG sends,
